Full Job Posting

Key Responsibilities

  • Modernisation Quality
  • Own the quality strategy for each capability being modernised, from discovery through to go live
  • Design comparison testing that runs today's system and the new build on the same scenarios and proves they match
  • Independently verify each build, filing defects against evidence rather than fixing them in place
  • Define and enforce exact match standards for financial and regulatory outcomes, with no tolerance
  • Plan and run parallel runs, period end checks and rehearsed rollback before any capability goes live
  • Build test data and scenario libraries that cover real business modes, record types and edge cases
  • Participate in system integration testing across multiple products, services and global teams
  • AI Native Engineering and Evaluation
  • Define evaluation frameworks for the AI harness, including accuracy baselines, regression suites and quality metrics for agent output
  • Test agentic and AI systems for non-deterministic behaviour, guardrail effectiveness, prompt injection and safe failure
  • Track the issues found on every harness pass and turn them into checks that stop the same defect returning
  • Help define automated quality gates covering coverage, code quality, security and behavioural evidence
  • Use AI assisted engineering tools to accelerate test design, automation, test data generation and exploratory testing
  • Review AI generated tests and code with a critical eye, and know when to trust them
  • Quality Leadership
  • Develop risk-based test approaches that balance customer impact, business value, complexity and delivery timelines
  • Contribute to automated tests and CI/CD quality controls that support continuous delivery
  • Facilitate example mapping and quality focused discovery to improve requirements and shared understanding
  • Coach engineers on testability, automation and defect prevention, and promote shared ownership of quality
  • Partner with Security, Architecture and Engineering to meet security, privacy, compliance and governance requirements
  • Contribute to the evolution of engineering standards, testing practices and quality frameworks across the organisation
